After porting a few of its first-party titles to PlayStation and Switch last year, the first multiplatform move for Xbox in 2025 has been revealed. Playground Games and Turn 10 Studios have announced that Forza Horizon 5 will be racing to PlayStation this spring.

The PS5 version will be developed by Panic Button, whose previous work can be seen in games like Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order, Forza Horizon 4, and Apex Legends. The PS5 version will also support cross-play, so racers on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC can join up and explore the Horizon Festival together.

Every piece of content currently available in the Xbox and PC versions of Forza Horizon 5--which includes nearly 900 cars, 40 themed updates, and two full expansions--will be available at launch for PlayStation players. All paid expansions, like the Hot Wheels pack from 2022, will be made available in the PlayStation Store.

A new update for all platforms, Horizon Worlds, will launch alongside the PS5 version. The new content will give players "the chance to explore a curated collection of some of the community’s favorite previously released Evolving Worlds, alongside some other surprises" according to the official blog post on the Forza website.

Forza Horizon 5--the most recent Forza Horizon game, but not the most recent Forza game--becomes the latest in-house Xbox release to head to the PlayStation 5, with Sea of Thieves and Hi-Fi Rush preceding it last year. It's one of GameSpot's picks for the best racing games you can play right now.

The PS5 port of Forza Horizon 5 is set to launch in the spring, and players can wishlist the game on the PlayStation Store starting today.
